At last I`ve downloaded the photos, I`ve been so busy...again...because of getting ready for the holiday that I just don`t seem to find enough hours in the day to do what I need. This afternoon I packed most of our cases and seem to have done a good job, there is still lots of room for the few remaining things that will go in at the last minute. Our new neighbour is a taxi driver and Jim tried to book his cab to take us to the airport...he agreed but has told us he will do it for free even though Jim insisted. He told us we are good neighbours and he wants to help where he can, you can`t do much better than that can you. We`ve decided to buy his toddler daughter a present in way of a thankyou.
The weather is so humid at the moment that I don`t seem to have any energy at all. Despite the promise of thunderstorms not much has happened, just a few showers here and there that have certainly done nothing to clear the air. Oh dear, I just noticed that rhymed...lol!
When Jim and I go away Slava`s parents Ivan and Nadia are coming over for a fortnight. We`ll all have dinner together on Sunday evening and that will be the only time we`ll get to see them this visit. Also it will be really good for Roman to spend time with his Baba and Dedde without the distraction of having us around. When he was in Russia Roman did`nt take to Nadia as well as he should. He was alright with Ivan and all his other Russian relatives but he is very shy with Nadia and won`t stay with her without Kerry or Slava being there, it`s very sad because if our positions were reversed I`d be devastated as I`m sure Nadia is. I really want her to have the same relationship that I have with Little Man because she is missing out terribly.
Anyway, my friends, I`ll say goodbye for the time being. I won`t post another entry before I go away on Monday so I hope all is well with you. I have my trusty camera all packed and ready to go and I`m taking a notebook for the best bits that I don`t want to forget for my entries. Bye for now. :o)

Hi Sandra glad you had such a nice day for the party. Have a good holiday. Love Joan.
Wow, he had a lovely birthday. We've been to Legoland down near San Diego, California. Have a wonderful holiday..Linda in Washington state
Wonderful pictures Sandra, it is obvious you all had a wonderful time. Legoland looks great, I never got the chance to go but I know B and D will take the boys probably next summer. I cannot stand this humidity. We had ten minutes light rain and that is all. I hope Roman gets to have lots of fun with his Russian Grandparents.

OH MY...if he is not the most handsome young soul....such a grown up and smart looking Roman!!! You look GREAT! As does Jim and Kerry. I love Legoland..i want to go too! What a cool spot. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and i do hope he warms to his other grandma. Miss You!
XOOOX
Oh, my, Roman is truly a little man! I like his hair cut!
We have a Lego Land near San Diego which is about 1 1/2 hours south of where I live. My grandchildren LOVE the place. My son and his wife got passes for the kids as a Christmas gift and when they went, they paid $4 extra for each ticket for a return visit. Not bad! My 3 year old grandson, Andrew will only ride the yellow rides there. LOL He's very particular about some things.
I hope you have a wonderful trip. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.
Hugs, Kathy

The pictures of the birthday party are just super! Your daughter is so pretty, just like her Mom :). That sandbox is just great. I would really like to get my granddaughter one. Is that Fisher Price? Just maybe when you get back and have a free moment, could you please e-mail me the brand? No hurry please, I just know that it's something Evy Lee would totally get a kick out of :).
Have a great time and sorry I haven't posted a comment in so long. :(
Biggest Hugs~
